so yesterday democratic leader nancy pelosi and steny hoyer and other top democrats in the house -- sent a letter to john boehner saying you know what? this is really dereliction of duty. we are not doing our jobs. we are not giving taxpayers their dollars' worth by this kind of a schedule. let's cancel the housebreak. maybe take a couple of weeks or something later on. but let's stay here and get the job done. let's stay here and pass a budget. let's stay here and deal with sequestration. let's stay here and deal with the farm bill. and then maybe we could get on to some other issues like immigration reform or like global warming or like some of the other things that need to be done here, right? no. boehner and cantor said no. it is more important to go out and campaign. is it any wonder that the approval rating of congress is only like 12%? no. the real question is why is it so high? they're so bad. why is it as high as 12%? you would think it would be like 2% approval rating. unbelievable! but we also see for the most part who's totally responsible. it is minute mcconnell republicans
